Trunk Access despite Bicycle Carrier on Panel Vans – with SWINGY, Everything Remains Accessible

Swivel Module for Fiat Ducato, Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit & Co.

A bicycle carrier is essential for many campers – after all, you want to have your own bicycle with you on vacation to be flexible and independent on the road. But especially with panel vans and motorhomes, a problem often arises: As soon as the bicycle carrier is mounted, the rear doors can no longer be opened. Even carriers with a tilting function often do not offer sufficient access to the cargo space. The solution – SWINGY!

Fortunately, there is a clever solution: the SWINGY swivel module from the Polish manufacturer LEMET. With this stable and easy-to-install system, access to the trunk remains possible at all times – even with bicycles mounted.

The Problem: Blocked Rear Doors

In vehicles such as the Fiat Ducato, Mercedes Sprinter or Ford Transit, the bicycle carrier is usually mounted on the trailer hitch. This is practical because this position ensures a low loading height and a high support load – ideal for heavy e-bikes or multiple bicycles. However, in this position, the carrier usually blocks access to the rear doors, which makes everyday life with the van much more difficult.

The Solution: the SWINGY Swivel Arm

There are various approaches to this problem – such as extensions of the trailer hitch, extendable bicycle carriers or laterally swiveling modules.
Several well-known manufacturers such as Thule, Memo-Europe, XIMPLIO, Liberco, Weih-Tec, LAS, Fabbri or LEMET offer corresponding systems.

But one solution stands out in particular: the SWINGY swivel arm from the Polish manufacturer LEMET.

The SWINGY is an intelligent, robust swivel module that makes it possible to swivel the entire bicycle carrier laterally away from the rear doors. This maintains full access to the trunk or rear garage – without having to dismantle the carrier or the bicycles.

The system consists of two swivel arms with double-bearing hinges that move like a scissor mechanism.
This ingenious construction ensures:

• highest stability,
• simplified assembly and
• significantly higher load capacity compared to single-arm solutions.

With SWINGY, a rigid bicycle carrier becomes a flexible, everyday system – perfect for anyone who appreciates comfort and functionality.

SWINGY – Easy Installation – Universally Compatible

The installation of the SWINGY module is straightforward and can be done in a few steps.
It is attached directly to the flange ball tow hitch – without any special adapters or vehicle-specific brackets.

The existing ball is simply unscrewed, the swivel module is inserted and then screwed back on.
This design makes the SWINGY universally applicable to almost any trailer hitch – regardless of the manufacturer.

Compatible with, among others:
Westfalia, Brink, Oris, Bosal, GDW, Autohak, Thule, MVG, Steinhof, HAK-POL, MEMO-Europe and many more.

Thanks to this flexibility, the SWINGY is suitable for almost all vehicle types, including:
Fiat Ducato, Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, Opel Movano, Renault Master, Iveco Daily, VW Crafter, VW Caddy, VW Multivan, Toyota Hilux, Isuzu D-Max, Mitsubishi L200, Nissan Navara, Ford Ranger, Dodge RAM and many more.

Stability & Load Capacity

The SWINGY is designed for a maximum payload of up to 90 kg – sufficient even for heavy e-bikes or large carrier systems.

The main load is carried by the front arm made of high-strength steel, while the second, lighter arm ensures flexible movement.
Both hinges are reinforced and low-wear, which considerably extends the service life.

💡 Note:
When using, be sure to observe the permissible support load of the trailer hitch.
The total weight of the swivel module, bicycle carrier and bicycles must not exceed the value specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

Complete Set with all Accessories

The SWINGY swivel arm is supplied as a ready-to-install complete set, including:

• Fastening screws and mounting material
• Cable extension for the electrics of the bicycle carrier
• Operating license

The SWINGY swivel arm is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to maintain unrestricted access to the rear of their vehicle even with a bicycle carrier mounted.
Thanks to its universal compatibility, high load capacity and sophisticated mechanics, it offers functionality at the highest level.
